Someone somewhere has a potato, a withered old onion and a couple of eggs knocking around in the fridge, and Clara just posthumously made their day.
gorilla glue with our world right now, we should all be writing these recipes down.
@@butterflysnme724 She has a cookbook if I'm not mistaken
@@elijahscott5561 yes and a DVD set. Both available on amazon
I'm sorry, withered old onion? What? Rude.
@@aleanagoodman4607 When that person wrote "withered old onion," I think they were actually describing an onion, not Clara.
To Clara's Grandson (sorry I don't know your name) who put together all of these videos over the years to share your wonderful treasure that was your grandmother. Her stories warmed my heart and soul. I did not have a grandmother like yours but while watching these videos I feel like I could share a part of your grandmother. That makes me very happy. I'm sorry Clara's has passed on. But with your help, she touched millions of people's lives.
(He's called Christopher :P)
I feel the same Christopher! Thank you for sharing your wonderful grandmother with us! :D
I lost my grandparents at a very young age. Clara just makes me smile and happy. So appreciate you sharing these videos. Her cookbook is amazing too. ❤️
I'm just seeing these videos now, how beautiful ❤ I lost my great grandma last May, a day after her 98th birthday, this video has warmed my heart and really made me miss my nana, thank you for sharing :)
She reminds me of my relatives when I was around 5 years old my grandmother's by aunt's. Some reason I just want to cry when I look at her. She's a beautiful person.
"People that don't get mad... when they get mad, beware!"
Incredible wisdom, no joke.
Absolutely no joke, i'm a very easy going person and had to tell a friend that i was super pissed off about the situation we were in and because of how calm i presented myself it absolutely terrified her. I've snapped twice in my life and the people i went off on backed down almost immediately.
John T Chiz, Time Lord I’m a whole opposite. I get mad a lot but people are still scared of me. I get into at least 1 fight every day (over something random). Also people see me when I’m really angry and I’m yelling and crying and they back down and try to calm me down before I say something stupid
Guilty as charged! I’ve learned to “let it out” a tiny bit when someone does something, instead of bottling it up and exploding after 20 years over nothing. It’s healthier for all involved. I learned my lesson after yelling at my Grandmother. I know, I know, but she really bullied the crap out of me because I was so meek. It was so wrong how I did it, though, and I will forever feel guilty. My brother learned early on to say things calmly, quietly, with a smile - but with a little personal dig. 😂
John T Chiz, Time Lord Yeah, that’s me! My brother is similar. He’s been married for 15 years and his wife said she’s only seen him legitimately mad once. He’s older and learned early that the best way to get back at me is to calmly smile. Drove me nuts as a kid! He’s great at little wise cracks and personal digs delivered with a passive smile. Serious power move! 😂
Beware the wrath of the quiet man, or however the saying goes. Btw this looks remarkably similar to what I used to do when I was having a bad month. Eggs are some of the cheapest protein out there, and you get stamina and energy from the carbs in the potatoes and onion.
My grandmother is declining fast. She is 87. I went to her house this Sunday and made sure that we made her tomato sauce. This batch will be the last of it forever and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss the chance to make it with her and save it for as long as I can.
Jamey I'm happy for every wonderful memory you have with her
My grandma died 2 years ago and I wish I would have had more time to cook with her and learn her old recipes. That's why I watch Clara's videos now.
No Jamey! Carry on the tradition and pass it to your kids.
Yes please pass down the recipes to your children. They may not realize it young but they’ll be so grateful to have something passed down. I barely have any pictures of my family I barely know my history passed my mother and it’s really really sad. I’ll have to create my own things to pass to my children bc nothing will be passed to me. Please keep your grandmothers legacy alive ❤️
Beautiful thing to do.
I love her recipes so much and her grandchildren are the best for preserving her legacy so well
Absolute truth 👍
😍
Yes they are. We need her wisdom in our world right now!
Enjoyed, like cooking with Mom
me too 💕👌 I'm keeping my meme's recipes alive too.
I really love this old woman she’s teaching us history but we can eat it
i love this comment 💕❤️
Oh shocks
She would think you description is stupid (but would laugh to be nice to you).
@@emi3084 bb8n*
I used to get so nervous watching my Naan cut vegetables and fruits up against her thumb. She would slice 3-5 tomatoes a minute. Now she’s running a little slower, she will be 97 end of January. God bless Clara, and every Nana. 🙏❤️🤗
I wish I would have had a grandma growing up. She passed away at 40 yrs. old, just before I turned 2. Her Mom, my great gramma died after suffering a stroke at the cemetary for her daughters burial.
@@candibeam9059 oh my word! God bless you. Hugs
Ok.... This only works if you lived on a farm. People in the cities during the depression didn't have potatoes and eggs just lying around. They just didn't.
I know!! I love all the Nanas!!
I'm 34 and that's how I was taught to cut them. I've been cutting potatoes since I was 7. I typically leave the skins in potatoes now because it offers a lot of flavor, but I still cut them against my thumb. Never cut myself either. Grandma's are the best.
There's a lot of people that need to
watch shows like this so they can understand that you don't have to have fancy expensive imported ingredients to make good food that tastes good. Cheap salt and plain ol'
black pepper from the grocery store.
They try to use all these rare ingredients like the cooking show chefs do, then they can't figure out
why " it doesn't taste like what grandma used to make "
I'll be the first to admit it took me a couple of years to figure out that bit of knowledge. Our grandparents didn't drive around half a day trying to find some one-off spice. They used what they could find at the place down the street where they usually shopped.
also teaches you that you can make a lot of filling food for a large family without spending the entire paycheck
@@rogerhank7314 no one has large families anymore so it dont matter
@@newbleppmore7855 Inaccurate.
Jim foreman did the same thing. check him out. another depression cooking man. with some really interesting creations.
I see what you are saying but different people like different things. I certainly make simple meals like this but I also enjoy something that is a challenge and testing out ingredients I have never tried before. Neither way is right or wrong.
What a gift she was. So glad her grandson has continued to share her with us.
So how do you know, just wondering?
@@nathanilemiller7750 just watch her videoes
When did she pass? I just found her page.
Nancy Leathers 2013
Anyone know the family’s last name? This is such a gift ! I’m trying to convince my gram to let me film her in the kitchen. Digital recipe book to hand down to her great grandkids. She’s not going for it so far 😊 maybe hidden cam time? Not for yt of course, just the grand babies.. unless she says ok!
She is the epitome of sweetness and a bit of sass. Just watching her bring her recipes to life makes me feel cozy and that everything is going to be all right.
I feel the same.
Same. Im back at work now, but during quarantine, she made me feel like I could take a can of beans and some potato and live a good life. I hope to stay frugal even with having an income.
Everything IS gonna be just fine.
❤
Yup me too
I'm not going to lie, I started sobbing by the end of the video. My aunt passed away this morning and Clara and her gentle, kind persona reminds me a lot of Donna. I hope one day I become a sweet old woman like that. I hope the future brings me peace
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that your wish comes true.
I hope that future for you as well. ❤️
I wish you peace and blessings, Amy.
Amen, may God Bless You! 😇
Much peace and comfort to you ❤ I’m sorry about your aunt. Clara is so endearing to me that I had tears streaming down my cheeks when I read that she has been gone for a while. I hope you always have the best memories to celebrate when you miss your aunt.
2007, 90 years old, born in 1917... god it just sounds like a different era like the victorian age, and yet here we are, hundreds of thousands of people learning all this useful stuff straight from the source.
I needed this vid
R.I.P Clara you are missed dearly
I don’t think she passed
I wish I would of know her in person she seems to be very kind person.
@@imallergictotomatoes3369 Unfortunately she has, I believe it was a few years ago.
She did a few years ago. But lives on through these videos and the love her grandson and the rest of her family has for her 🙂
@@imallergictotomatoes3369 She passed in 2013.
I cried when she said, “It needs more salt.” My Sicilian grandmother ALWAYS said that when she did her taste tests! Amazing! They could have been twins. God Bless you and your family! Thank you for sharing this legacy with us! It means more than you know. 🙏🏻
Taste buds, aren't as good, as when young. Potatoes do take a lot of salt. My mom, later, over-salted everything and made it too greasy. It was, to her taste. FORGET...YOURS. lol.
oK
I literally love this woman! Every time I watch her, I go back to my grandmother teaching me her recipes. I get misty eyed because I miss her. She passed when I was 12 in 1982. I still make several of her recipes. Thanks for posting this!
I know what you mean. I lost my grandparents when I was young. I loved them both equally, but me and my grandpa were inseparable. We’d sit out on his front porch eating tomatoes and drinking “beer” (root beer lol). When they passed away it broke my heart. I still remember those times and think back on how much the world has changed.
I too lost my grandma at age 12 in 1982.... So sorry for your loss🙏🙏😢... Kendra
agree!
"After you make the soup, you sit down 'cause you're tired." Not a senior, but disabled. That was so validating.
How I wish I could talk to my grandma again and learn more things from her. Only after finding Clara did I realize I didn't learn nearly as much as I should from her. Thank you Clara, hope you're smiling down on us all watching and learning from you!
Same here.. I was raised by my gran and I often think of things I wish I'd asked her. I love these videos as they remind me of her.
I agree, i wish i had payed attention more when my Grandma showed me things...
Thanks for sharing everything. Family is the best especially when you're close. At least you can watch her videos and feel like she's here ❤️
@Usa mabaho Don't you dare be sorry :) I still can! What do you like? I like pickled beets, pickled carrots, pickled beans, jams, I made a delicious garlic and ginger paste.
My grandmother has lost a large chunk of her memory, but for this reason i Take time to talk with her and encourage the storys she tells occasionally of my late father and his brothers growing up 😂 never disappoints especially when I have heard them from my uncle's to so getting the other end of the perspective is amazing☺️ 😁
occasionally I will share with her what I was told and we both laugh 😂 Shes the only grandmother ive known and i love her dearly
I cried when I found out she had died
R.i.p you will be missed❤️😭
Charlotte Plunkett She died a few years ago, you’re a little late.
Me too I just found I 2 weeks ago and I balled my eyes out I made alot of her recipes and each one was delicious I miss nana clara
She died?? Omgosh🥺😢😢🥺😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😢😢😢🥺🥺 I watch her videos all the time!! It feels like She is part of my family!! This is beyond sad!!!!! 😞
I loved watching her videos, she reminded me so much of my grandmother. Nothing was wasted, no fancy pots or pans and ten thousand dollar stoves manned by ‘influencers’ I was watching someone cooking her daily meal and sharing it me. This was when the average social media account shared positive images.
Amen
9
Amen to that too many people missing the Simple Things in Life feel bad for them
“That’s it, nothin to it”.... I love how simple she explains her recipes ❤️ I would stand next to her and watch her cook and listen to all her heart-warming memories all day if I was given the honor
I love to hear her stories and I like learning how it was in the depression area .
If I'm in a funk, I know I can come over to Clara and she takes my mind off of everything except love and food. God bless you and Rest in Peace Clara.
I have all these ingredients and I'm broke from this lockdown so I'm going to make this! Thank you for sharing💗
Then I hope you have plenty of salt, because as the cook confirmed, salt was the only source of any flavour in this tasteless, desperate potato-water concoction! It's a dreadful, desperate recipe.
I realise people must eat whatever they can make do with in hard times, but thankfully for most people in 2020 there is no need to throw together such a basic and terrible mess as this.
I think it's really patronising that people are saying things like "Wonderful, I'm going to make that!" Do they seriously have no access to stock cubes, fresh or canned vegetables, a modest amount of chicken etc to make a decent, flavourful soup from? That recipe is literally the equivalent of eating the water you boiled your veg in and calling it soup!
@@glamdolly30 Actually I've made it 4 times now and have loved it everytime and so have my kids! Maybe it's the fact that I grew up poor and still poor that I can appreciate any food. The homemade aspect makes it delicious🤷♀️😊 It's made with love💝 We've also made her Italian Ice and pizza many times😀
@@sarahnichols4253 Did you add a stock cube/bouillion powder to the potato water? Love is great, but doesn't have flavour in itself! There is very little flavour in fried, cubed raw potato & onion steeped in plain tap water, and not much nutrition either. The bulk of nutrition is in the eggs.
No disrespect to the hard times and circumstances of the recipe. I get that it was a desperate, Depression era concoction, using what precious few ingredients were available to feed a family on a tiny budget.
Things are still tight for many in 2020, but thankfully today most people have a few store cupboard ingredients which would turn that very basic recipe into something with flavour and far better nutrition, eg stock, some fresh/frozen/canned vegetables, even a small piece of chicken/meat can be effectively stretched when added to soup and adds flavour, especially if on the bone. If you are struggling so badly that you had to make this horribly basic recipe for your kids exactly as presented, then truly my heart goes out to you. X
@@glamdolly30 Nope just lots of salt and pepper😂 I do habe stick cube and will try that next time! I didn't make my kids eat it but they saw me watching the video and wanted to try it and they liked it.. We aren't starving but their daycare and school shutdown in March so it has been very hard this past 6 months. Cheap easy recipes with alittle history have been fun to watch and try. Adding flavor is a great idea...chicken ect👍
@@sarahnichols4253 I don't have children, and sometimes struggle to pay my bills as a single, childless gal so I have nothing but admiration for parents who like me are not wealthy, but manage to keep the family healthy and well fed on a budget. Respect to you!
I recall a TV show a while back, doing a test on the 'filling' properties of soup as opposed to a solid meal. They took the exact same meal, and served it up on a plate to one group of people, and liquidised it with water and served it as soup - exactly the same ingredients and quantities - to another group. Those who ate it as soup, reported they felt much fuller for much longer. The programme was actually about the benefits of soup for people on a diet.
So there's a lot of sense in soup for staving off the hunger pangs, our grannies were definitely onto something with all the soups and bone broths they served up!
Good chatting with you, let's hope we're out of crazy Covid times soon. And maybe when we are, we'll have learned some valuable lessons along the way. Love and luck to you and yours. XXX
Look at all of the lives she touched. She is helping so many people, even in the afterlife. Wish I could have hugged her.
I love this woman. She clearly had a real zest and gratitude for life that puts a lot of us to shame. It shows clearly that it’s not the materialistic things in life that give you happiness
I fell in love with her and then found out she has already passed. So glad she made these videos!! I use them to teach not only some cooking assignments for my kids...but also to educate them on how my grandma ...and many other grandma's ...ate during the depression. Thank you so much for keeping these going!!!! Love you Mrs. Clara...you've inherited a LOT more grandkids now!! 💜
I love that you are showing these to your students.... Probably not in the curriculum..
Thank you so much for sharing your Grandmother with us. She is dearly missed and I often watch her vids over and over. She has great recipes and her stories keep me laughing. The one about the mail is too funny. RIP Clara.
What?? She passed away?? 💔😢 this video was uploaded a week ago so I just assumed... 😭
Me too...
Do glad I found this..
I made this soup today. Very simple recipe and it came out delicious. If you haven’t made this yet, you should.
I made it so yummy used the wrong type of bread but the soup itself was delicious
I’m feeling skeptical! But I love eggs… I might do it.
@@brittany9627 how many potatoes did you use?
5?
I'd like to sit down to one of her home-cooked meals. It makes me sad that no one will ever get to again. I guess the best we can do is honor her memory by watching these videos and making the recipes ourselves.
Clara was a beautiful soul who changed my way of thinking and she shared her cooking skills and her beautiful stories that re anchored me to my past! I absolutely adore her she was a very flamboyant woman and I will always treasure her videos loveu Clara ❣ RIP sweet lady!! ✌💜🍳🥘🥧🥔🍞🍅🍗💖
This is the content needed on the internet
Seeing these recipes makes me think how innovative her mother was for what she had to work with. Truly food doesn’t have to be overly complicated to make you feel good after eating it.
So true, what she said about people who don’t get mad. When they do, watch out!
Grandma Clara is all of our grandmas...I just want to give her a hug and sit down for lunch.
Wow... I'm back to this video realizing that I've been eating delicious eggdrop soup with my nana these whole 5+ months because we're broke. But happy with simple things! Be grateful for everything you have please...
💜💛❤💙💚
For anyone who wants a written version if her recipe
1 potato
1 onion
Olive oil
Salt & pepper (to taste)
Bay leaves
Half dozen eggs
Cheese
Begin by skinning and dicing the onion and potato, add to a pot with some olive oil, bay leaf, and a dash of salt & pepper. Brown the pan.
Fill the pot about half way with water and simmer to finish cooking the potatoes. Add more S&P to taste.
Boil the broth and drop in four whole eggs while stirring. Scramble the remaining eggs then add to the boiling water. Sprinkle cheese over top and stir in.
Serve over bread.
What kind of cheese?
@@jennyworthy8980 parmesan
@@jennyworthy8980 she used parmesan cheese but I'm thinking shredded cheddar cheese would be so good! ☺
She used romano in her garlic bread recipe because she said she liked it better than parmesan (at least in that recipe?)... so I'm guessing maybe it is Romano in this one too? I don't know.... but it did look like one of those. I guess either one would probably be great. I definitely want to try this recipe. 😊
@@shelleyshulamite5976 it has been over a year since I transcribed this recipe. lately I have found myself making stews with staples like eggs, potatoes, rice, etc and using onion, celery, and carrots for taste. and I have also taken to putting entire bricks of cheese in the pot and letting it dissolve into the broth. I have let these recipes seep into my brain and influence how I choose to throw stuff together for food
I ordered her book... Clara's Kitchen. I got it and love it.Thanks for keeping her legacy going.
Such a precious soul. I only recently discovered Clara, and i could listen to her talk for hours. I haven't known of you long, Clara, but I miss you just the same. These videos somehow have a way of easing my anxiety when it things get heavy, and I know they have been heavy for alot of us lately. Her beautiful spirit lives on, and I am so grateful for the honor of being shared these sweet stories, memories and recipes. RIP, Clara. ❤️
Clara makes me feel so happy. I feel sorry for the 8 miserable people who down voted this loving video. Thank you for posting this!!
Sad to read she's passed away. Stumbling upon this just made my day. These are great stories of survival and fitting recipes for today as many are struggling financially!
I just get such warmth from listening to her wonderful stories...lovely lady
Clara always reminds us how important her family was throughout the depression and no matter what, she always found a great story to share but always something positive during her difficult struggles. I am grateful for Clara's wisdom throughout these priceless videos. ❤
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
Rest in Peace, Clara.
Christopher, you did a good thing compiling these videos
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS. Brings a tear to my eye. I love hearing everything she says. I love seeing her vintage kitchen. Just a confident little sweet grandma. RIP Clara.
So sorry for your loss. What a great soul she was.
Clara is kinda like the grandmother I never had
I still come back to watch these recipes because they are so comforting (and tasty looking)
We still miss you Clara, rest in peace. 💐
She probably would have beaten COVID19 too.
AMEN ❤️🙏❤️
Covid-19 would have tip-toed around Clara....
Mordorian Queen it would have asked for some soup from outside her window
How did she die?
COVID-19 would have worn a mask for her
I love this this lady. The Greatest Generation. A good example for us all today.
Thank you for you channel Clara. I am going to try this soup.
Oh the memories. Clara reminds me soooo much of my Memaw. Her name was Alpha and she told me so many depression stories. She was born in 1916 and got married in 1934. I spent many months living with her during my teens and early twenties. She taught me how to make buttermilk biscuits, cornbread, and many other delicious foods. She encouraged me to try new recipes, even though she couldn’t eat any of it due to stomach cancer. I miss her every single day and these videos make me feel like I’m back in her farm kitchen. I can’t wait to try some of these recipes for my 5 kids. 🥰
She will always be the sweet gem we knew her as and I feel like she's still living through these videos. I'm glad you guys still have things you're willing to share with us. You were truly blessed to have such a healthy, happy and cute little lady for a Grandma.
She seems like the kindest lady - I love watching her videos....and the food seems great! I love how people of that era just made it work. Good for her family for keeping her legacy alive. These videos are always something I watch to relax!
I just discovered her and I’m already hooked. I’m crying, life is beautiful ❤️
Her meals are delicious and she loves sharing her stories. As with every meal she prepares there is always a wonderful story that seems to go hand and hand. I love the stories that are told on how her family survived the depression years.
At the beginning of each of the vids it says October 29th which happens to be my birthday and I always feel so special because Clara has inspired me so much. I use so many of her recipes. Ive always lived across the country from my grandparents so in a way Clara was a grandparent to me. May she rest in peace💕
Never had egg drop soup, but I surely will now!😋 Not only was Clara an amazing person, but her food was simple and tasty! I've tried a few of them and loved them☺
If you eat it in an American Chinese Restaurant, it is made and served completely different just fyi. :)
Yeah, uh, egg drop soup is usually Chinese; this style of it is weird, but I guess it won't hurt to try.
@@felinayjonny Never been to America, and I'm not sure if that's on the typical Chinese menu in my country lol. Seems interesting
@@fwemp Definitely going to look into the original one as well thanks!
This isn't like real egg drop soup
I love her personality. She is a gem. What a sweetheart and so nice just listening to her stories of her struggles. All I hear in her voice is hope.
I made this yesterday
Oh man I love her. She’s so humble and full of wisdom.
I absolutely love these, thank you for continuing to share her videos. I found her a couple of years ago when I was very broke and hungry. She helped me through some hard times! Would have loved to sit down and talk to her 🙂💜
Her cooking was resourceful, passionate, inspiring & sweet. Love the stories that accompany her cooking. It makes people in this day & age aware of the struggles of the Great Depression & hopefully makes people in this era know the value of a dollar & thankful for what we do have!
Lord I'm in tears! This is how my momma cooked, good rest her soul. That was so touching. Thank you
My grandma was her generation. When I miss her, I come here.
Love watching Clara! My heart swelled with emotion watching her peel and cut potatoes and onions... my Mum (who passed away a few years ago) used to do that exactly the same way. Brought back so many happy memories of her teaching me how to cook.💜🥔💜🥚💜
Next week it will be a year since my Mom died. Clara reminds me so much of my Russian Mennonite Mom. It’s a bit overwhelming watching these beautiful videos of Clara. Thank you for sharing this wonderful human ❤️
She is precious, as are her messages to us. Thank you so much for sharing her.
Hello how are you.
I'm so glad her grandson posted these videos and shared Clara and her wisdom with the world. What a sweet woman she was, and her stories were so interesting.
Thank you for still sharing your grandma's videos with us Chris. We all still miss her. May she RIP.
This lady is a national treasure ❤️
Thank you for continuing your wonderful grandmother's cooking videos, Christopher.
I love how she will sometime say, " turn on the gas", although she now has an electric one. Bringing to mind my own folks. Solid , wholesome and humble ❣️
Thank you ❤️ made me cry. Thinking of my grandma and my mother in law who lived through the Great Depression and whom I’ve always admired. I don’t understand why “we” these days believe that having more and acquiring more is better, when we all can be absolutely fine with less.
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
Just found this video of hers today and read she passed away, godI wish I could hug my grandma. Wish I could've found this channel earlier . Thanks for all the wonderful lessons you have left for us Clara. I miss you
My mom is going on 102. It painful but also remember happier. She left mentality along time ago. Watching Clara bring back my cooking mom and I cooking together. Upward and onward
Clare reminds me if my grandma and even my mom. Just cooking the basic, nothing fancy. Thank you.👏🏼👍🏼
Having these in higher quality makes a big difference. Thank you.
I JUST discovered this channel tonight. I LOVE IT!!! My grandmother passed away at almost 94 a few years ago, and this reminded me so much of her stories from The Great Depression. You ate whatever you had. She said she never got so sick of stewed tomatoes in her life...stewed tomatoes on bread or toast. Some of these recipes too. Miss my grama so much! I NEVER got tired of hearing her stories, and even in my forties asked her to repeat them over and over!!! ❤❤❤
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
I love her stories and her recipes. I feel comfort watching her videos 😌💕
Thank you so much! You have no idea how much Clara touches my heart, my great-grandfather is 91, born in 1929. I always cry watching Clara, she feels like family. Thank you. I drop everything when you upload.
I bet she was the best grandma! Great stories, great cooking, great sense of humor, and (I assume from these videos) so sweet and loving!
HER RECIPES ARE THE BEST. No measurements. Just feel. I’m crying. I miss my grandma so much
I can feel all the love in this community! Clara is the catalyst for all of this love here!
I often wonder what Clara would say about our current state of affairs.
Not much, I think. I feel like she'd just go on cooking, just minding her own business. And laughing her ass off at us.
I'm happy that she doesn't have to see it. Her generation loved their country, and would never have acted like many are today.
Oh my goodness she'd say exactly what you think because she's an object of your own projection.
Lance Dukel look I’m not american but you mean to tell me she was alive and aware through things like two world wars, pearl harbour, Korean War, Vietnam war, Jim Crow and civil rights fights, Japanese internment, further recessions, 9/11, abysmal treatment of women, etc., and they somehow acted better? Actually thinking about 2020 now, has any time period ever been good except for a lucky few lol. I think she’s seen more than any of us born in the last few decades! Least of all the depression
Cat Egorical I don’t believe in covid anymore, lol ,
I clicked not knowing it premiers in 1/2 hour. Now I want egg drop soup and must wait.
I just came across this channel and I love it! How wonderfull to hear about the Great Depression from someone who actually lived it.
What a beautiful lady. ❤❤❤

Every time I watch Clara’s videos I get a bit emotional and teary. She seemed like such a kind lady. I love trying her recipes and can’t wait to try this one.
I smile. Then find tears streaming down my cheeks. Reminds me of my dear mother ❤️. And fond memories as a child. Bless you for posting this.
Clara reminds me of my late great-grandma. These videos have always been a great comfort. May she rest easy.
What a treasure. How she put a smile on my face. Her stories are funny and comforting. She was defiantly entertaining.
I just discovered Clara. She is so beautiful. I just love her. Thank you so much for sharing her with us. I can't imagine what we've done to receive such a beautiful gift, but I'm happy we did it. Thank you! 😊
My grandma made a cook book about 10 years before she passed, I’m so incredibly grateful for it. My mom and I plan to collect lots of photos of her family and her life with explanations, we will bind it and then gift one to each of the great grandkids ❤️
I’ve just found this channel today. I love these videos. Also, I notice how she conserves “fuel” (gas or wood or whatever you’re cooking with) by cutting things up, putting in the cooking pot and THEN adding oil and cooking.
I enjoy listening to stories about life during the depression from my 94 year old grandmother. What a gift grandmothers are.
What is there here to dislike? As of me writing this, 103 people gave the video of this precious woman and her soup a 👎. Like... who hurt you people? Who pissed in your Cheerios? What is your deal? It should be a crime. Show love to this beautiful woman who lived through one of the hardest times in American history and is sharing her knowledge about it.
this is becoming more relevant now more than ever. Bless you Clara helping us from beyond the grave.

Just came across Clara today and seeing she has passed makes me miss her. She seems like a lady that made the world better just by being on it. Whoever helped her with the videos thank you.
I love this channel. She was a sweet magnificent lady, and you are an exemplary grandson. Keeping her memory and wisdom alive with this channel.

So glad we can still learn from her..such a beautiful smile ❤💚💜💙
I can always count on Clara to brighten up my day. These videos remind me so much of growing up cooking with my mother and grandmother. My great grandparents and grandparents were Italian immigrants and being in the kitchen and listening to their stories was such a big part of my childhood. I lost my grandparents several years ago but Clara's memory keeps their memories fresh in my mind. So grateful for this channel
Ok I am officially addicted to Clara. I love her and her videos. She has the sweetest disposition and best stories.

I can tell from the closeups how much whoever filmed this loved their mom/grandma.. that closeup with her beautiful earring glistening in the sunlight just brought tears to my eyes… 🥲
And I still can’t make egg-drop soup. I’ve ruined so many of them..
